Back again .. .. this time with my Penny Black Challenge card.
It is Penny Black's first birthday so the challenge is to make a celebration card.
I chose my image because it is Penny Black's first birthday .. .. .. .. .. there is appropriately one candle on the birthday cake. I also added a "friends" gel sticker in the corner because everyone in Penny Black land is so super friendly .. .. and this is something to celebrate too.
Here is my creation
Image: Penny Black 3842K "cinnamon"
Stamps Happen 30023 "birthday candles"
Sentiment: Penny Black 2908F "to you"
Backing Paper: Funky Hand
Gems and Gel Sticker from my Polka Doodle prize
Special Heart: from my lovely Sis (thank you - love you xxx)
Promarker Pens
Diamond Stickles
and that is it. I hope you like my special heart.
My Sis came round for a Chinese and a sleepover on Saturday evening and brought me a whole pack of special hearts. She had seen them and "just had to buy them for me". (Isn't she lovely).
When I opened the hearts tonight they had a special smell. Not sure if you will know what I mean but they smelt like a "new doll".
It might not be the same now but when I was a child if you had a new doll it had a special smell and I used to "sniff" my new dolls head for ages .. .. .. well until the smell had gone away. I love the "new doll smell" and haven't experienced it for ages. Thanks Sis - shame you weren't around to share the sniffing session!! LOL!!!
Well now I have managed to convince everyone that I am very strange I will disappear.
Love Jules xx

Morning Jules
ReplyDeleteLoving the girlie feel of this one.
More hearts, whose a lucky girl and yes I know that smell, with me it was always a new dress on my birthday and Christmas - you know the 'olden days' when new clothes did'nt come quite as often as nowadays.
Have a good day.

Gorgeous card Jules, I love the details and the colouring youve used. The image is fabulous. With love and hugs Shirleyxxxx
ReplyDeleteLove the card, and thanks for the memories. I love a smell that makes me think of the box that we had the christmas decorations in when I was young. It makes me think of Santa coming and the excitement of being wee again.

Jules this is cute!! Nice layout and woohoo for new hearts! Love how smells can take you back. :) xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card- love the colours and esp your heart!! Thanx for your lovely comment on my Valentini card. If you like I can stamp a couple for you and send them to you as I suspect it might be hard to get hold of (my hubbie got it for me whilst in the US the other week) xx
